If you haven't heard of Alessia Cara, then you are probably missing a lot these days when it comes to the latest in music. This kid is about to be the next big thing in the industry and she is only 19 years old. She started making YouTube videos for fun and began collaborating with Sebastian Kole who is a producer that eventually became her mentor in songwriting.  Her first come out single called "Here" has definitely turned heads and made music critics keep an eye on her talent.

Her first album was called "Four Pink Walls" and it has gained the respect from a lot of big names in the industry including Taylor Swift, who wasn't able to control herself and tweeted how good Cara is. And now she's out with a new album called 'Know It All'.

NPR even featured her because her music is just so relatable to a lot of young people these days. Her first single "Here" is for all the introverts in the world. She began touring after that one hit song and now she is about to conquer the world. For a small town girl who only does music on YouTube, Cara has come a long way.

We're betting she would even hit it big more than Taylor Swift. She is not just a singer who sings other people's music, she really knows how to write and keep it real to people who listens. Her lyrics are not shallow and it is not the typical overly produced pop music these days. This girl could sing live and play her guitar and she will blow you away. For those who don't know her, then it's time to check her out on Soundcloud and iTunes.
